As I understand it, it's legal for the authorities to go buy marijuana, and then arrest the dealer. But it is not legal for them to sell marijuana, and then bust the people who buy it.

I guess I understand the reason for laws against planning to murder someone... but planning to copy some bits to your computer that represent a naked kid? Let's spend our money going after people that actually physically rape children, not people that click links, or that think about thinking about clicking links.
